Installing packages necessary for packaging

Procedure 2.1.  Installation of packages needed for packaging

  • All packages at once


          apprentice@packaging-host.mydomain.com:~$ sudo apt-get install tree gmanedit lintian dh-make devscripts git-buildpackage libparse-debcontrol-perl debhelper build-essential gnupg pbuilder cowbuilder debian-archive-keyring pinentry-qt4
        

[Note]Note

If you use a Debian machine instead of Ubuntu Precise, the list will be different. E.g. debian-archive-keyring will most probably be installed already, but you'll have to install an Ubuntu keyring if you are planning to package for Ubuntu as well.
